The Human Biology Program will notify the registrar that a student has completed the necessary requirements to fulfill the certificate. The academic advisor will provide the Dean of the student's college or school, major department, minor department, and the student with a copy of a signed form of certificate completion. The program will retain a copy as well to facilitate record keeping for the program. The transcript of the student will then read 'Human Biology Certificate' once the registrar has been provided with this documentation.

The Human Biology Program will also ask students to complete exit surveys. These surveys will assist the program with its learning goals and provide student feedback critical for future development of this and other programs.
